The 1990s were Akshay Kumar’s time to shine indeed. The decade saw the actor’s emergence as a ‘Khiladi’ to look out for in Bollywood. The actor is getting a chance to relive some of the glory of his Khiladi days in his upcoming release, Selfiee. The makers unveiled the music video for the song Main Khiladi, a track which gives a glammed up makeover to Akshay’s 1994 hit song Main Khiladi Tu Anari.

The music video of the song is as vibrant as ever, as we see Akshay, and his co-stars Emraan Hashmi, Nushrat Bharuccha and Diana Penty shaking their legs to the beat of the song, which gives the retro classic a spirited twist. The four can be seen decked in bedazzled outfits, looking as glamorous as ever, setting the dance floor on fire.
